«Perdona'm, assassí» is the crime novel by Harry Whittington, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (160 pages, in Catalan).
A man condemned to the electric chair who pleads innocent asks for help from the only investigator on the case who has not tortured him. The policeman replies that the murdered woman deserved to die and that the accused should have received a prize instead of a sentence. From there, the plot delves into crime and suspense, with unexpected twists.
The work belongs to the Seleccions de la Cua de Palla collection. It is a Catalan translation by Montserrat Solanas; the English original, «Brute in Brass», was published in 1956.
For readers of crime fiction and pulp who enjoy hard-boiled police stories, murky settings, and twist endings.
Harry Whittington was an American mystery novelist and one of the pioneers of the paperback novel. Born in Ocala, Florida, he worked in government jobs before becoming a writer. His reputation as a prolific writer of pulp fiction novels is supported by his writing of 85 novels in a span of twelve years mostly in the crime, suspense, hardboiled, and noir fiction genres. In total, he published over 200 novels. Seven of his writings were produced for the screen, including the television series Lawman (1958-1962). His reputation as 'The King of the Pulps' is shared with author H. Bedford-Jones. Eight of Whittington's hardboiled noir novels were republished by Stark House Press.
